Pats Sign Special Teams Standout Justin Bethel

Ravens release cornerback, special teams ace Justin Bethel, citing need to keep draft pick

“Judgment has to be made for the future as well,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh, who called the compensatory system “funky,” said at his weekly news conference Monday. “That’s tough for us because, I told him, I think he’s the best special teams player in the NFL, and he’s playing that way. So that’s going to be a blow, and we’re going to have to find a way to overcome that.”

In the Johnathan Badmosei role from a couple years ago.

Bye Richards. Hopefully LaCosse and Richards.

Yes!!!!!! Now we have THEE best ST (Slater of course) and another one of the best ST in the league! BB trolling Harbaugh at his finest!!! Gotta love Bill

Richards gone?

LOVE this signing, glad they didnt let him leave his visit! Also fun to stick it to the ravens!

Bring back Harry shortly, and need three roster spots.
Clearly best, financially, if it's a release, not IR, where it's not a guaranteed veteran salary.

Classic BB move. Harbo knew it the moment they told him they are letting him go.

January team starting to take shape..

How high is this pick they are saving? Seems like a dumb move by the Ravens.

There are 31 other teams in this league right?

ST ace signed midseason fine by me

BB will always be interested in a special team ace like this

They're renaming it the NEFL, until Brady/BB is no longer a duo.

BadMoFo · Oct 22, 2019

Richards is the only player who should be cut here.

This was an excessively stupid decision by the Ravens. Not only do you weaken your own team but you just made the top dog in the NFL that much better.

Bethel is 29. Five years younger than Slater. Multi-year deal?

BB pulled the same thing by signing McClellen after BAL cut him mid-season. He was a fine pickup.

Now we have 2 Slaters.

Sounds like Ravens save a 4th round compensatory pick.

Here's a great play by Bethel as the gunner on this punt - very Slater-like:

The Ravens don’t take special teams standouts for granted. Just ask Justin Bethel.

RobertWeathers · Oct 22, 2019

We are refueling at this point....

I’m sure BB had an “accident” as soon as Bethel was released
